As for your comment: "Some accounts/players are better served by the balance in 5v5, some by 3v3."
Can you elaborate?
Ben's 3rd omi is a great example. That is the least-applied Ben omi in the game. In 5v5, it rarely has a meaningful impact. In 3v3, it definitely can. Rey mirrors in 3v3 are trivial if your opponent doesn't have it and dicey if they do.
ogCal can shut down the current Malicos vs Rey counter in 3v3. In 5v5, not so much.
SK is worse in 3v3 than 5v5.
Tuskens are better in 3v3 than 5v5 if you have the Raider cron.
Aphra is worse in 3v3 than 5v5 (less so now because of her DC, but not everyone can get that).
BH and Veers are better in 5v5.
Limited party slots means you often have to forego a tank or support or 2nd damage dealer. Therefore, if you are at a large DC/relic disadvantage, fewer allies can make it harder to overcome. A classic example that isn't particularly relevant now was the GAS mirror. In 5v5, it was beyond trivial. In 3v3, it no longer was because the AI was more likely to accidentally target wisely (fewer decoys).
Etc...

My question would ask how that affects balance at all.
Not sure I understand exactly what this question is asking. Can you clarify, please?
